Popis: The paper aims to read David Forster Wallace’s essay “The View From Mrs Thompson” (appeared in the October 25, 2001 issue of Rolling Stone) through the exegetic filter of trauma theory, in order to interpret the manner the author chose to account for his own account of the horror of 9/11, which he experimented not directly, but mediated by the screen of a television in a Midwest living room, namely Mrs Thompson.
